Description

The house was originally a mill house with adjoining tobacco drying tower and features exposed beams and barrel vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is designed for modern convenience rather than purely rustic charm, the dining area has a lovely open fireplace and the whole has a comfortable home from home appeal. The shaded wisteria covered terrace and thick stone walls keep the interior cool in summer. The swimming pool is of ample size and features an intermittent gentle current against which one can swim on the spot! There is also a gazebo and terrace with benches and table above the swimming pool. Unfortunately, we have to say that we do not want guests to bring their dogs as we have to consider the next guests and have had poor experience with this in the past.
Casa Molino is larger than it looks at first as it is built on a slope in a quiet valley setting so that from the pool only two floors are visible but there are in fact three! It will accommodate up to five with ease so is ideal for couples or a family, having exclusive use of the house and swimming pool. On the ground floor there is a spacious sitting room with an arch through to the kitchen with dining table and fireplace. Both rooms open onto the shaded terrace along the length of the house. A wide spiral staircase leads to a hall with access to the twin aspect single bedroom, bathroom and a lovely large room, again with dual views, and two queen sized beds. On the top floor is a large double bedroom with panoramic view across and along the valley.
The nearest village, San Leo Bastia, about 3kms away, has a restaurant, a couple of bars & some small shops. There are plenty of good restaurants in the surrounding area and an excellent supermarket can be found 20 mins away by car. Cortona is the nearest hilltop gem, 18 kms over the hills, while Città di Castello & Perugia are easy drives. Gubbio, Assisi, Arezzo and Lake Trasimeno are all within easy reach while Siena & Florence are also accessible. Tour as you wish and then relax by the pool in the quiet Tuscan countryside – a perfect recipe for a great holiday break!
Fly to Perugia, Bologna, Florence, Pisa or Rome. Directions supplied. Normally one week minimum stay.

Great place to stay

By Charles Draper on 02-Sep-2023

We loved the house. Very roomy! The veranda was a favourite spot. We had an excitement one evening when the tobacco farmer dragged his irrigation spray right up to the fence late in the evening and set it off- but he came over and popped his head over the hedge to explain what he was doing, and the care he was taking to avoid giving us a soaking. We also much enjoyed the Pizzeria in San Leo - nice food at a great price and friendly people. The one problem we had were large biting flies which seemed to be based near the final section of the track coming to the house. They made walks (or runs) on the track unattractive for much of the day, and contested the area around the pool. Happily they kept away from the house. They may be seasonal – and not much you can do about it!

Escape to Tranquility: a perfect retreat on the Tuscany-Umbria border

By Ivo on 05-Aug-2023

Nestled at the crossroads of Tuscany and Umbria, this holiday home is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable retreat from the ordinary. If you're seeking a slice of paradise that strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and comfort, look no further. This charming haven offers an experience that's as enriching as it is rejuvenating. The home's remote location ensures a tranquil atmosphere, free from the hustle and bustle of modern life. It's a place where time slows down, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of the Italian countryside. Despite its remoteness, it is still a very good starting point to visit the beautiful cities of Cortona, Arezzo and Perugia (which was our favorite city by far). The highlight of this enchanting escape is undoubtedly the beautiful pool. Surrounded by lush greenery, the pool area feels like your own private oasis. Imagine lazy days spent lounging by the water, sipping on your favorite drink, and basking in the warmth of the Tuscan sun. Beware of the horseflies though, they also seem to like the pool ;). The holiday home itself exudes rustic charm while offering all the modern amenities you could desire. From the cozy living space that invite relaxation to the well-equipped kitchen where you can channel your inner Italian chef, every corner of this abode is designed to make you feel at home. All in all, me, my wife and our 2 children (13 and 6 years old) had a wonderful time here and can highly recommend this place.

So happy to hear they had a great time and grateful for their taking the trouble and time to write the review - much appreciated. Unfortunately, in the countryside nature can sometimes be a bit of a pest!

Lovely property

By Stephen G. on 20-Aug-2019

Fabulous location, the house is bigger and better than the photos, and the pool is great - also the local shop and taverna are both good and very friendly. A top base for visiting all the sites in Southern Tuscany. Just needs 5 new sun loungers as there are only three, and these are broken...
